Snapshots From My Droid

Just a few random shots that have been stuck in my phone.  Enjoy!

*Warning.  They are mostly going to be of Emma.

 How did my baby go from this little...

To this BIG! No more blanket to hold her up and she bounces up and down.

From learning to hold her head up, to this...

  Hands and Knees People! Almost crawling!

 We recently visited some friends in Lexington.  Emily's son Sam wanted to take a cat bath like Emma had earlier.  I don't think he realizes he's outgrown the sink.  Btw, how adorable is he?

Sammy boy was absolutely in love with Emma.  He wanted to hold her every five minutes.  Check it out...Emma is almost as long as him.

 Bath time with mom.

A little R&R at the Salyer Pool.  Can't forget the corn hole.  We are all obsessed.

Sitting in the cart all by her big girl self.  How the heck did this happen?

This Fair is No Fun Mom!

So.....

We took Emma to her very first fair two nights ago.  It did not go over well.  I had a feeling as the day went on that she may not do well.  She didn't nap well that day and was just plain crabby.  It didn't change once we arrived at the fair.  As soon as we walked through the gate she started screaming bloody murder.  Every little thing was scaring her.  Normally, she would have loved it.  Not really sure what got into her.  Let me set the scene for you.  It was seven trillion (yes trillion) degrees outside.  It was so muggy you couldn't breathe.  It was very loud.  It was hot.  Oh did I mention that already? It was a lot of smells all mixed together (corn dogs, sweaty people, smoke and dirt from the figure eight race going on, did I mention sweaty people?).  Because of all these things and Emma's terrible mood we had to carry her the entire time.  She was NOT having any part of her stroller.  Why didn't we just leave you ask? Because the tickets were ten bucks a person to get in and by gosh we were going to get our ten dollars worth.  We are retarded, duh.  After the sun finally went down, the heat subsided a very teensy weensy small bit.  Do you think that really made Emma any happier? Umm no.  I'm still kicking myself for even staying that long because we were only torturing ourselves. We rode all of ONE ride (which was a little worrisome since it was sitting on ply wood because the ground wasn't even).  We ate one very large, nasty corn dog, we drank five hundred bottles of water and one coke.  Dustin downed a funnel cake in about 2.5 seconds because I was about to have a nervous breakdown with said fussy baby.  We played one game (the duck in a pond game, everyone  is a winner so does it even count?).  We watched one round of the figure eight race (Emma was not a fan of those loud cars).  We attempted to ride the carousel with her but they wouldn't let her ride.  36 inches or taller they said.  Boo.  We did however get to spend time with my parents and some great friends of ours.  They have a baby boy that is three weeks younger than Emma.  He loved the fair.  He even slept for half of it.  Lucky lucky lucky.  I wanted to trade babies for the night.  I guess overall it was a good night with great company.

 Wow Mom.  Dim the lights please.

 Thanks Mom.  Hey Gage, wanna play with some grass and not the bad kind if ya know what I mean, my momma has told me to always Just. Say. No.  She's teaching me young,

 

See Gage, isn't this fun?

 When do you think our mommies will let us go on a date?

  My dad says I'm never going to date boys but I think he's just silly.  I will just bat my eyes and he'll give in.

I think my momma is going to be the strict one.  It's ok though Gage, I'll just sneak my dada's phone and call you later :)

What is Friendship?

To me, friendship is many things.  Friendship to me means forever.  Through ups and downs you get through the bad things because you know there are good things on the other side of those bad times.  Friendship is a bit like marriage.  You can't just quit when things get hard.  Friends are going to disagree, they are going to argue, they are going to fight, they are going to sometimes in the heat of the moment say things they don't mean but realize how silly they were and apologize.  You just don't quit because you disagree on things or you have a stupid argument.

The reason I'm posting about this is because a few weeks ago I went through a really difficult time with several of my friendships dissolving.  It was really hard.  It's hard enough losing one friend but to lose three was pretty rough.  I loved all three of those girls unconditionally and truly felt betrayed.  I will not go into specifics but lets just say what they did was very hurtful and deceitful.  I'm still not over it completely and I'm not sure if I will ever be.  It amazes me at how childish adults can be sometimes.  I'm also not saying that I'm perfect because I have my moments too, but to act cruel to somebody and not feel sorry about it or apologize for it after the fact is disgusting to me.

I am not a perfect friend.  If you know one please tell me because I've never met one.  I struggle to wrap my brain around the fact that I get treated like a plague when I didn't even do anything.  I would totally understand if I had done something or said something.  I will be the first one to call myself out when I do or say something wrong.  For years, pre-teen, teenage years and several years through my marriage, I was a very gullible and easily molded friend.  If somebody said jump I jumped.  If somebody said "get out of the front seat I'm sitting up there" I did it.  You get the picture.  I always wanted to please everyone around me even if it meant me being miserable.  In the past couple of years, through the help of one of my dearest friends, Erin, she has helped me learn how to stand my ground.  She's made me realize it's OK to stand up for myself and ensure I am happy while still being able to be a good friend.  I'm not afraid anymore to speak my mind.  If you are being selfish, ugly, lying, hurtful to yourself or somebody else, destructive, mean or angry I'm going to call you out on it.  To me that is what a friend does.  They hold you accountable for your actions.  If you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen, right!?

I think my official quote thanks to Erin is "Quality over Quantity".  It's so true.  I don't need a hundred friends to make me happy.  I know that the few true friends that I do have will be around when I'm old and gray and that is all that matters.  I am still hurting over the loss of a few of my dearest friends but in the end if you can that easily treat a "so called friend" that way then you weren't a true friend anyway.  Once again I will say it.  You don't just QUIT because things get rough.  You work them out and forgive.  Forgive and forget and move on.  Right after this whole blowout I went on my Girls Trip Weekend and I was shown so much love by two of the dearest girls in my life.  I was shown what true friendship is and I'm so grateful and blessed to have this small group of people in my life.

What is Friendship to you?

What do you think is better, Quality or Quantity?

Catch Up Post, Yada Yada Yada

So once again I find myself having to constantly catch up on my blog.  Summer has been so incredibly busy for us.  Busy but so fantastic.  It was really been a whirlwind but I wouldn't change it for anything.  I love that Emma is at an age where we can really be out and do fun things.  She is a great little traveler and loves being around people.  First to catch you up on...Fourth of July festivities.

P.S. I'm typing this post while trying to watch 127 Hours with Dustin, chat with my bestie on Facebook and make sure to listen for a sleeping baby if she arises, so if this post is sporadic I apologize in advance.

Any who, where was I? Oh yes.  Fourth of July.  We had tons of family and friends over at our house for a pool party.  It was perfect weather and great time spent with the people we love most.

P.S.S Speaking of people I love most and friends, I have a post coming up about loyalty and what true friendship is.  Stay tuned for that one.

Again, Sidetracked! Back to where I was.  The Fourth was spent socializing, playing corn hole, horse shoes, swimming and lots of amazing food and fireworks.  I have to say it's probably the best Fourth I've had in so many years.  Emma did a great job being out in the heat.  We kept her cool in the water and under a shady umbrella when she wasn't eating or napping.  So proud of my big girl!

This past weekend, for the first time since Emma was born I stayed away from home.  For two whole nights.  My sweet husband stayed home so that I could have a fun filled girls weekend in the mountains.  How amazing is he? I surprisingly did better than I thought I would.  I only cried twice.  Once when I pulled out of the drive way and once the first night I went to bed.  It was such a relaxing, much needed getaway.  I really did come back rejuvenated.  Two days of rest with out having to constantly be tending to or worrying about Emma.  Not that I didn't worry about her while I was gone, because I did.  It was just time for me.  I haven't had that since January.  I can't say thanks to Dustin enough for allowing me to go on that trip.  Also, to be with two of my dearest friends in the world was priceless.  We had a ball.  So many laughs.  We cried from laughing so hard several times.  Love both of those girls so much.  Unfortunately, we were missing a member from the trip.  My older sister was supposed to go with us but ended up staying home with her kiddos.  So understandable but we missed her a lot.  Hopefully, the next girls weekend she will be able to attend and be apart of the fun that was had.

"We're the three best friends that anybody could have, we're the three best friends that anybody could have, we're the three best friends that anybody could have, and we'll never ever ever ever leave each other!"

A few days after returning back from Gatlinburg, it was time to take Emma to her six month check up.  I am not sure why it was scheduled after she was already six months old but it was a little harder than her other appointments.  She got two shots this time which is much better than the normal three or four but the shots really got her this time.  Fever for 24 hours, chills, body aches...the whole shebang.  Poor girl.  Other than the terrible shots she is growing like a weed.  She is 16.1 lbs and 27 in long.  I think she's going to be tall.  She's pretty much perfection.  See for yourself.

Big Baby Blues

Well, that's all folks.  For now anyway.  I promise to blog more when I find the time.  Time slips away from me so fast these days.  All you momma bloggers out there, I don't know how you find the time to blog everyday! I'm impressed.  Keep blogging and I'll keep reading (and commenting when I find an extra minute in my day!).

Memorial Weekend Hoopla

What a LONG (but fabulous of course) weekend. It's Tuesday and I'm beat. I feel like it should already be Friday again. Anybody else feeling that way today? Over the last three days I have had so much food I think I might not be able to button my jeans today (jazzercise here I come). I have soaked up so much sun that I may just be a lobster today. I have played so much corn-hole that my arm may just fall off. Also, I have had LOTS of people at my house so I am definitely enjoying the peace and quiet today. I am so grateful that I got to spend such a beautiful weekend with family and friends. Thanks to all the brave men and women who fight everyday for our freedom, so that we can enjoy these times with our loved ones. Let's see how should I do a recap....why, bullet points and pictures of course!

• Friday night was dinner and a movie with two of my best friends ever.  I drove down to Tennessee and met them at The Streets of Indian Lakes for a little dinner and drinks at Sam's Sports Grill (delish by the way).  Afterwards we headed over to the theater to see The Hangover II.  It was really funny and actually less crude than I thought it would be surprisingly enough.  It was really nice to get out and about with the girls for a few hours thanks to a wonderful husband.  He's a great dad :)

[caption id="attachment_431" align="aligncenter" width="512" caption="Me and Erin (this is the very first friend I ever made when we moved to BG and now she has moved away from me. Oh how I miss her.)"][/caption]

• Saturday my sister, brother-in-law and their two kids came over for some pool action.  We swam all day long and that evening we tossed (we'll we didn't literally toss it on there..you get what I mean) some fish and shrimp on the grill.  It was a fantastic day and thanks to lots of haziness nobody got burnt...until Sunday and Monday that is.


• Sunday we had lots of family over.  My sister, BIL, niece and nephew, BIL's oldest son, my aunt, her son, her BF, my mom, my step-dad and four crazy dogs running around.  It was a packed house and boy did we have a great day.  Swimming, corn-hole (very competitive in this family might I add), burgers and dogs (not the living ones I was referring to earlier) on the grill and an overall had a fantastic day.


• Monday....we were pretty exhausted from a long weekend so decided to once again lounge by the pool all day.  I may or may not have turned into a lobster.  That evening after putting some steaks on the grill, eating, showering and cleaning up around the house and pool, we crashed.  I mean as in we were asleep before our heads even hit the pillow.

Much needed night out.

So, Saturday evening was my first night out without Miss Emma. My plan was to do nothing all weekend due to sleep deprivation from a newborn but at the last-minute I decided I could take an hour or two and go to dinner and spend some time with my sisters.  First, let me start by saying that not having her with me I totally felt naked. I kept looking around with that feeling of "somebody STOLE my BABY, OMG!!" but then after a deep breath realized that she was home safe and sound, snuggling on the couch with her daddy. It was just really nice to relax for a couple of hours without the screaming, spit up, dirty diapers and constant frazzle that comes with being a new mommy.

I remember when "going out" had a totally different meaning than it does now.  In past years going out would have been trying to make it to as many bars as humanly possible in one night but over the last two years my lifestyle has changed dramatically.  I have some things in my past that I am not proud of but I wouldn't change a second of my life because it has brought me to where I am today.  I am a totally different person now thanks to a closer relationship with Christ and newfound attitude on life.  I'm a better Christian, Wife, Mother, Daughter, Sister and Friend than I was two years ago.  Being a responsible human being is so important to me today.  I have responsibilities now and being selfish is not something I aspire to be.  Nowadays, going out means having a nice dinner, listening to some music (because me and music go together like pb&j) and having a couple of glasses of Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling (yum yum).  I can't tell you how nice it was to sit there with some lovely ladies and have wonderful conversation, delicious food and tasty wine.  Just feeling like a normal human being again was so nice, however I may have shed a tear or two because I missed my sweet girl.  At 10:30 I called it a night and headed home.  When I walked in the door my sweet babysitter husband had already fed Emma, (I made sure to leave him with a pumped bottle because I don't think he would have been very happy when she started screaming and he had no boob to give her, although it would have been a funny site to see him try!) put her in her pj's and had her sound asleep.  I have the best husband in the world.  He's such a great father.  I am truly blessed to have him in my life.  Every woman needs a "Dustin" in their life.  If you are with someone who doesn't respect you, love you unconditionally and treat you life a princess my best advice is to keep on looking.  I suppose it is time for me to give him a Guys Night Out.  I'm sure he would appreciate a break as well.  He can go do....well, whatever it is guys do.  Next, up we need a date night.  However, that one may just have to wait awhile because I don't think I'm quite ready for one of us to not be with her!

All in all, I would have to say it was a much needed, relaxing evening out!

Girls Weekend

So, I am really looking forward to a weekend with the girls.  Dustin had to go out-of-town for work this weekend so I will be spending my time with my friend Jayme (who so sweetly drove up from Tennessee to spend time with me) and Erin.  Perhaps even my baby sister if she's able to come up from Tennessee.  I always miss Dustin when he goes out-of-town and look forward to his return but this weekend I get to have a little girl time.  I'm looking forward to a trip to the movies, dinner, playing lots of board games, laughs, sleeping in, junk food and just some good ol fun! After the somewhat depressing week I had it is much needed.  Something also snapped in me yesterday.  I believe it has something to do with the prenatal massage I got.  I have had so much energy ever since I had it done.  We did about 4 hours of Christmas shopping yesterday and I still had energy left afterwards.  We attended our breastfeeding class last night and it has made me a "wee" bit more hopeful.  I'm not going to lie, I'm still terrified but I CAN DO THIS! It's such a huge dedication but I am going to give it 110 percent! Today I got up and started in on our filthy house.  I've sort of let it go this week due to the whole depressed attitude.  I probably shouldn't have vacuumed the house and bathed the DOGS, but I did and I felt good doing it.  I haven't given the dogs a bath since I found out I was pregnant.  They are big and heavy and just a pain to bathe and bending over the bathtub is not fun for a pregnant lady, but I pushed through and did it today and am so proud of myself! I finished getting the house straightened up because I'm hosting a Lia Sophia jewelry party tomorrow afternoon and didn't want people walking in to a dirty dog smelling house.  I feel so good today...maybe the nesting is slowly finding me :)

I'm so ready for a wonderful weekend, fun times with friends, meeting the 8th month mark in pregnancy and getting ready for Thanksgiving...MMM TURKEY oh and deviled eggs.  I'm craving my mother-in-law's deviled eggs so bad I can't stand it! I hope everyone has a happy weekend! Enjoy this beautiful fall weather!

Baby, we are in the home stretch!

Today I have a really bad cold and can't seem to shake it, so be glad you are getting a post.  I've been procrastinating because my head feels like it weighs as much as my pregnant body.  I am thankful however that this cold did not set in until after my baby shower on Saturday.  It was such a beautiful day.  I was so overwhelmed with the love of family and friends.  I had people traveling in from even several hours away just to attend.  I was able to visit with friends I haven't seen in awhile and it really made me realize how much I miss them.  We received presents galore, ate some yummy food until we could no longer eat, played lots of fun games and then ate cake (and I only had ONE piece! oh yeah until later that night I may have snuck in another piece, shhhh don't tell anybody).  Thanks goes out to my sisters Jennifer, Leeha and Rachel and my best friend Erin for making the shower such an amazing and special day.  I will post some pictures at the bottom for your viewing pleasure.

As for life currently in the Salyer house things couldn't be better really.  I complain A LOT and sometimes forget that I should be very grateful for what I have.  Dustin has been working a lot more than usual lately which makes me a little bummed but I know it's needed right now.  With a new baby arriving in TEN WEEKS, Thanksgiving travels, Christmas shopping and last minute purchases for the nursery money is definitely tight, so I just need to be thankful that he has such a great job that allows him to work overtime.  I just get lonely sometimes sitting in this house all day.  I visit my mom several times a week and we spend hours talking, drinking coffee and playing yahtzee and scrabble which definitely helps me with my walls closing in on me, boredom.  I don't know what I would do if she didn't live ten minutes away!

As for how baby and I are doing.  Great.  I had a rough day yesterday with this cold.  I think it was causing her to feel bad as well.  She was tense all day and had her little elbows dug into my bladder and lower abdomen all day and would not relieve me for even a minute.  It was pretty painful and didn't help that I was already feeling terrible anyway.  I am also starting to hit that third trimester fatigue and not sleeping well at night.  I slept great during the second trimester besides getting up to use the bathroom.  Now, every hour I am having to rotate sides because I'm going numb on the side I'm laying on.  My feet and hands are starting to swell at night and I'm having night sweats.  Oh and we can't forget the lovely potty breaks.  I guess it's all just to prepare me for a future of no sleep anyway.  You're all saying "Amanda, get over it.  You will never sleep again when Emma comes!" Honestly, that's totally ok with me.  At least I will be waking up with purpose and for a good cause.  Right now I'm waking up because my body has been taken over by an alien!

Thursday I have my 30 week check up and I'm not going to lie, I'm nervous.  My last appointment I was determined that my weight gain would be perfect and right on track and for the last two weeks I just haven't cared.  Maybe it's because I am in that third trimester funk.  I didn't eat like I should have and haven't been on the elliptical as much as I should have.  I didn't get on there all weekend because of the baby shower and didn't yesterday or today because I feel like poop.  I just don't want to get on that scale and be totally bummed.  For two weeks I really shouldn't have gained anymore than two pounds but I feel heavy.  We will just have to see what happens I guess.  On a happy note, we are getting our 3D 4D ultrasound done that day (FOR FREE!).  I can't wait to see this precious angel up close and personal.  To be able to see all her features makes me smile like a kid waking up at Christmas morning.  I will update with a 30 week post and pictures on Thursday or Friday, so be looking out for that one.

Now for some shower photos!















 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh and my husband crashed the shower at the end but it was totally ok because he brought me a Salon gift card for two prenatal massages...he's the sweetest :)

Best Shoes EVER!

Yesterday one of best friends in the world came up from Tennessee to visit and we had such a great time.  We went to dinner and a movie, but before that we went to Shoe Carnival and I bought the best shoes in the whole world.  I DO love my Uggs (they may still be my favorite) but these shoes are amazing.  I have a very wide foot and fortunately they make these in wides, so  they fit perfect.  They will be even more comfortable when my feet are swollen in a few months! I recommend Sperry's to all.

Flu shots aren't so bad afterall!

So as you can see I've been M.I.A for awhile.  It's mainly due to the fact that I'm lazy.  In the Salyer household we are keeping it pretty calm these days.  Dustin of course is at work most of the time but on his days off we are spending our time preparing for Emma's arrival, housework, date nights, yard work, family time and church.

I got my Flu shot today! I was a nervous wreck.  I have never gotten a Flu shot before and have heard stories where they make you sick and can even bring on Flu symptoms so it took some guts for me to sit down and allow them to stick me with that needle! Thankfully, my sweet husband was the person who gave me the shot.  I was nervous at first but he made me very comfortable and he did an amazing job.  I hardly felt a thing! Good job babe! Besides a somewhat sore arm and a slight headache I'm fine.  So hopefully no Flu for this pregnant girl this winter! To any pregnant ladies out there you should definitely go get your shot.  They say that the number one person that should get vaccinated is pregnant women.  You can see Dustin at Kmart pharmacy for your shot, he did an amazing job and you won't feel a thing!

In other news, we recently joined a Small Group at church.  Since the church we go to is so large it was definitely a must to sign up to meet with a Small Group (which is 4-6 other couples in our age group that meet twice a month for fellowship and a Bible study).  We have been attending Living Hope since February and finally decided it was time to step out of our shells and make it a point to meet others and really get active.  Dustin is also taking initiative in getting active with all the men of the church and certain volunteer tasks that are going on right now.  It's great to see him opening up and stepping out of his comfort zone.  I think we all tend to make excuses for ourselves to avoid stepping out of our comforts zones.  This church has really opened our eyes to the possibilities out there to witness to others and fellowship with other believers.  It's something we have both wanted for so long.  A church we can call home and the opportunity to become the Christians we have been longing to be.  I look forward to what is in store for us at Living Hope.  I'm really looking forward to find where I belong, whether it be working with the young girls, or the nursery or the choir or all of those, who knows! I am so proud of where me and Dustin have come in a year.  Every couple experiences difficult times but we were able to push through them and put in the hard work and it's really paid off.  God has blessed us tremendously and we are forever grateful.  So many people in this world are non believers but I'm here to tell those people you aren't truly living until you live by Grace and the love of God.  Every time I see love in my husbands eyes, the joy of family and friends, the kicks of this precious life growing inside me, the sun shining in the sky, the rain that quenches the thirst of this earth, even the hardships put upon us to bring us closer to him and the feeling inside my soul because HE lives in me, I KNOW there is a God and he will forever be my Lord and Saviour.

I am very blessed and can't even  fully explain the joy I'm experiencing lately.  Last night Dustin finally got to feel Emma kick for the first time.  We layed there for thirty minutes just feeling the kicks get stronger.  How amazing is that? I mean, there is really a BABY in there! We had an ultrasound last Friday and she's as beautiful as ever.  We go back on the 27th for another ultrasound and my Glucose testing.  I get to drink a delicious orange pure sugar drink so they can make sure I don't have Gestational Diabetes.  Crossing my fingers that goes well.  Our ultrasound on Friday still didn't show Emma's entire face so once again we will have another one at our next appointment.  She is really cozy in her spot and hasn't seemed to want to budge.  Although, last night with as strong as her kicking was, I really think she has changed positions.  I'm feeling her almost all the time now and her kicks are very strong so maybe that means we will actually get some good pictures of her next time! We hope so anyway!

Ok, now it's picture time!

23 weeks :)



I think she's gonna be a big baby!





Yay me!

Baby Room Ideas

This week has been such a great week.  I went to visit two of my dearest friends from high school on Tuesday for dinner.  We talked for hours reminiscing about old times.  I have missed them both so much.  It's crazy how everyone goes their separate ways after high school.  It's so hard to stay in touch but thanks to lovely inventions like a cell phone, texting, Facebook and such it's much easier to keep in contact.  Can't wait to see them both again soon!

In baby news, I have been searching online for baby furniture and bedding.  I'm not much of a theme person, more into solid colors or patterns and so far I've found these two that I love:



I love this one for a boy.



I love this one for a girl.



I also am really thinking about getting a Boppy Body Pillow.  I'm uncomfortable at night since we don't have a firm mattress and I think this would give me some support.  Have any of you used this and if so would you recommend it?

What do ya think about the crib bedding? The one for a girl looks elegant but fun too.  I think the colors would also be great to work with.  The boy bedding is simple but the polka dots make it babyish.  I'm definitely ready to find out what this sweet baby is going to be so I can actually start picking stuff out.  I'm getting anxious! It's hard to believe that in just a few days I will be 18 weeks pregnant.  I honestly don't know where time is going.  It started out very slow in the beginning and now it's flying by.

I will be M.I.A this weekend.  I'm going to Indiana this weekend to visit my sister for her birthday, so I shall update with stories and pictures of my weekend when I return.  I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!



17 weeks 3 days!
